Bought some muffins that were discounted from 75p to 15p for 4 thinking they would do for breakfast as the shop ran out of the croissants I usually buy, and it would be a change from crumpets and toasts.
I am being reminded why I am not too keen on them.
The texture is too doughy for me, whereas I love the chewiness of crumpets, the crispiness of toasts, and the flakiness of croissants.
How do you feel about muffins? Like, dislike or indifferent etc...?  |

Blueberry Muffins with a dollop of lemon curd on the top then sprinkled with crush sugar cubes. Stick 'em in the oven and dream about scoffing them all up in 20 mins time.  |

I think maybe there's some confusion here between English muffins and those horrible cupcake things that Americans call muffins.
I agree with th OP - not keen on English muffins, prefer crumpets with lashings of artery-clogging butter and marmite |

"I love English muffins, lots of butter and jam. Or good with poached eggs, can never be bothered to make the hollandaise for eggs Benedict though. "
Siren tried making hollandaise sauce during the week. She needs more practice I think.   |

With a cracking view |
nowt like a proper oven-bottom muffin, lashings of butter, filled with chips, bacon or sausage
can have great fun if someone asks you if you want a muffin, knowing they've got the cake version, and asking for a bacon one  |

From cake baker site
Crumpets, pikelets, Scotch pancakes and English muffins: all traditional British tea-time treats but what's the difference? That's a good question!
They're all cooked on a griddle or bakestone (a heavy-based frying-pan can be used as an alternative) but crumpets and muffins are both yeast-based.

But.... a muffin is a cake and a crumpet is a holey roundy flat thing that tastes like a carpet tile crossed with a panty liner 
So yep, Scottish Pancake sounds like a better or more apt description |

English muffins with a fried egg and sliced sausage in em - perfect start to an active day
Cheese ones are really nice if you don't like the plain ones, or just put cheese on top and grill em like cheese on toast - that's nice too.

Think there's still confusion between the American muffins, which are cakes with choc chips or blueberries etc and English muffins in this thread. |

Lol I must admit eating shredded wheat is like tasting Brillo pads.
